I don't know how long it took, but Tangshan woke up.

He rolled in a circle, and inadvertently, he just grabbed Zhou Weiliang's wrist with one hand. Not as cold as the legendary corpse, Tang Shan felt that it was about the same temperature as the palm of his hand. Either the legend is wrong, or the man didn't die long.

Tang Shan didn't dare to turn his head to look at the blood on the ground, and climbed down to the first floor. On the way, he kicked over two stools and knocked over a garbage can. The downstairs is still brightly lit, but the gamblers are gone.

The last few people to leave also walked away, and there was no figure to be seen, only the voices of each other laughing.

Chen Yusheng stood in the shadow of the door and waited for Tang Shan, looking at his demeanor, as if he had just turned back from outside.

Tang Shan held on to the wall and gasped, unable to calm his heartbeat. Chen Yusheng glanced at the door, walked through the hall in a hurry, came to Tang Shan's side, and kicked him:

"Damn, how much did you borrow Zhou Papi? All the faces are green? ”

Tang Shan then remembered that he had gone upstairs to repay the money, but now the money was taken downstairs by himself again. If you don't pay it back today, you will have to pay 900 yuan more interest tomorrow. If you don't pay back the money you win, it's too unjust to lose 900 yuan in interest for no reason.

Thinking of this, Tang Shan had to lift his feet upstairs again.

Chen Yusheng saw that he was depressed, and kicked him from behind:

"Everyone is gone, what are you still doing up there?"

Tang Shan fell forward on the stairs, his ribs in his chest and his buttocks behind him aching at the same time, and he completely came back to his senses, Zhou Weiliang's corpse was clearly displayed in front of him again, and the debt was gone, and the money meant that he didn't have to pay it back.

There are more than 30,000 yuan of ownerless wealth, plus more than 20,000 yuan and more than 50,000 yuan of money won by himself, which is enough for more than half a year.

Chen Yusheng became impatient, grabbed Tang Shan's shoulder and walked out. Tang Shan's footsteps were a little involuntary, and his mind kept thinking about how much money he had in his pocket. But I haven't figured out how much a fraction of what is other than 50,000.

Tang Shan stopped suddenly, digging his hands in his pockets, and only stretched out in the middle of the sound, and his ten fingers were full of hundred-yuan bills.

He wanted to point out the more than 20,000 yuan he won today to repay Chen Yusheng's debts, but he found that he had followed Chen Yusheng into a dark alley, with no street lights and no moonlight, so it was impossible to carry out the inventory work at all.

In the dark, his hands looked like he had grabbed two handfuls of meaningless waste paper. Tang Shan asked Chen Yusheng coldly:

"Your mother is hospitalized, how much do you owe?"

Although the environment was dark, Chen Yusheng saw clearly that Tang Shan was holding money in his hand, and was taken aback, and answered the question:

"Damn, where did you get so much money?"

Tang Shan was stunned for a moment, and also answered the question:

"Zhou Papi is dead."

Chen Yusheng didn't react for a while:

"What did you say?"

Tang Shan quickly described to Chen Yusheng:

"Zhou Papi is dead. There was a pig-killing knife in his chest, and the blade of the knife was inserted into the body at least half a foot, right in the heart, and the knife was fatal.

"When I saw him, the blood had not yet clotted, and it was oozing from the wound, like a spring in the mountains behind my hometown, and the blood flowed like a stream, wading under the coffee table and disappearing under the sofa.

"I touched his wrist, there was no pulse, but the body was still warm, and the time of death was estimated to be no more than twenty minutes. The soap opera on TV hasn't finished yet, and some people are crying at the corpses, and some are laughing at the corpses, I don't know what these actors have in their hearts.

"Anyway, I owe him 30,000 yuan, and I don't have to pay it back now. Ha ha. ”

Chen Yusheng was like five thunderbolts, his body flashed, pressed Tang Shan's neck with his elbow, pressed it against the wall, and roared:

"Damn, you killed him? You're going to fucking kill people for that money? ”

Tang Shan struggled for a moment, not breaking free from Chen Yusheng's control. He is thinner than Chen Yusheng, he is not as strong as Chen Yusheng, and now he is in a state of loss of soul, and he is even more vulnerable. Tang Shan gasped and said in a hoarse throat:

"I didn't kill him. I've always wanted to kill him, but this time it wasn't me. ”

Chen Yusheng let go of the strength in his hand, a bit like talking to himself:

"It's not you, who did it?"

This time it was Tangshan's turn to yell:

"How the do I know who did it? I wonder who did it. Why did you choose to kill him at that moment? Dozens of minutes late, I won't see his bird-like appearance.

"Do you know how horrible he looks? I still fucking want to throw up. I couldn't throw it up, and I was suffocating. I've seen you kill a dozen pigs in my life, but I've never seen anyone kill. It turns out that killing people and killing pigs are completely different things, although they are also bleeding and dying. ”

Speaking of the back, Tang Shan cried, and his body slid down the wall, and finally sat on the ground.

Chen Yusheng calmed down, squatted in front of Tang Shan, and whispered:

"You're a little fucking out of the way, okay? You didn't kill it, why are you crying? Don't talk nonsense, think about what to do? ”

Tang Shan stopped crying, and suddenly sneered again:

"Damn, what should I do? What can you do? What can I do? You should call the police. ”

Chen Yusheng took out his mobile phone, just pressed the button twice, slowly lowered his hand, and sighed:

"No, you can't call the police."

Tang Shan calmed down a little this time and asked strangely:

"Why can't you call the police?"

Chen Yusheng took a deep breath:

"Call the police and you're done. If you think about it, all the gamblers have seen you go upstairs twice, and you are the only one who has gone up during this time. The first time you went up, you were alive, and the second time you went up, they died, and the body was still warm. ”

Tang Shan asked with a lack of confidence:

"So what?"

Chen Yusheng said angrily:

"How? Is your brain watering? That means you're the only one who has time to commit the crime, and you'll be caught as the biggest suspect in the homicide. ”

Tang Shan was also angry:

"You don't fucking believe me at all, I didn't kill me when I said it."

Chen Yu laughed angrily:

"You can tell the police about this, but do you understand it? In addition to the time of the crime, the large amount of money you are holding in both hands right now is the motive for the crime. ”

Tangshan is a little broken:

"That's the money I won."

Chen Yusheng sneered:

"All gamblers will prove that you don't win that much at all. If that incident was uncovered more than ten years ago, your motive would have been one more and more explicit: revenge killing. ”

Tang Shan is not convinced:

"More than ten years ago, it was just a fight, how could it be turned over again?"

Chen Yusheng patiently explained:

"Ten years ago, Zhou Weiliang was a teacher, he was seriously injured in your village and he didn't get rid of it, it was a sensation, there must have been a case file record at that time, and then Zhou Weiliang became a street tyrant, and the police have not found a reason to arrest him, but obviously they will not relax their monitoring of him. Therefore, the case files and records of that year will definitely not be destroyed, and they will often be read by people if they are not done well. ”

Tang Shan is still not convinced:

"So what?"

Chen Yusheng laughed angrily again:

"How? Where the fuck are your associative and reasoning skills? Once you dig out the case file of that year, the police will know that you had a grudge against Zhou Weiliang back then. You yourself said that you were questioned by the police as the object of suspicion, and these interviews must have been recorded. ”

Tang Shan is still not convinced:

"How many times have I told you? While I wish I had done the attack, I didn't. Moreover, the police at that time finally cleared my suspicion. I was only seven years old. ”

Chen Yusheng was furious:

"You've got a lot of water in your head, and you don't even fucking grasp the point of it. The key is that if the police really go over the case ten years ago, everyone will know that the disability of your leg was given by Zhou Weiliang back then. Thinking of his body lying in front of you now, isn't that a good motive for killing? ”

Tang Shan was deflated:

"Going around and around, you still think I've really killed someone, don't you?"

Chen Yusheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and slapped Tang Shan in the face:

"Of course I fucking believe you didn't kill it. It's not that I underestimate you, just like your bear, you only dare to scratch the hind legs when you kill a pig, and you can still be expected to kill people? But I'm sure you're useful? You have to make the police believe you. Otherwise, you will be finished, there are so many unjust cases in this world, and it is not bad for you. ”

Tangshan completely collapsed:

"So, what now?"

Chen Yusheng was silent in the dark for a long time, and finally answered very poorly:

"Let's get out of this place of right and wrong first."

Tang Shan cried again:

"You've been talking to me for a long time, and you came up with such a bad solution? Are you legally illiterate, do you understand that it is also a crime to not report it? ”

Chen Yusheng dragged Tang Shan up from the ground and pushed him out of the black alley. Say as you walk:

"Which is more troublesome, not reporting or suspecting a major crime? You should first make sure that you are serious before you speak, or you can close your mouth and walk out of here calmly. ”

Tang Shan tried his best to hold back his crying and followed Chen Yusheng's steps speechlessly. It wasn't until he walked far away that Chen Yusheng began to talk to himself:

"Zhou Papi's house is in the middle of nowhere, and no one usually goes except for gambling. I hope that this matter will be found out a few days later, the later the better, it is better that the body is decomposed and smelly, then, the forensic doctor's judgment on the time of death of Zhou Paopi will be more vague, at least it cannot be presumed that the death was between you and you went upstairs. Then, you insist that when you go upstairs a second time, you will see him alive, so maybe you can stay out of it. ”

Since then, Tangshan has been in a state of fragmentation, and was pushed into a taxi by Chen Yusheng, crossed the center of Fenglin Town in a daze, and returned to Chen Yusheng's house in Hebei Village. Tang Shan was in no mood to go to Chen Yusheng's house to idle again, he needed to go back to his residence to calm down completely.

When leaving, Tang Shan was full of foxes and asked Chen Yusheng:

"It's okay if you don't report it, and you still encourage me to lie to the police?"

Chen Yusheng's expression became indifferent:

"The choice is yours. I don't bother to care about you. ”

Tang Shan walked to the Xiushui Building in the cold wind, walked past the farmers' market, and came back to the Dongli Bridge. The cold wind was blowing all the way, and before he got home, he completely calmed down and began to think clearly.

Tang Shan has never been stupid, he was just scared stupid just now.

Chen Yusheng's plan is not feasible. Yuyama thought. Lying to the police is no small feat. If this case can be solved, the time of Zhou Papi's death can be known from the mouth of the real murderer, and then how can the police easily let go of Tangshan, who lied?

At the lightest, it is also a crime of disturbing the police's sight, and if you don't get it right, you will be labeled as an accomplice.

What if the case never goes unsolved? Can Tang Shan really get away with a lie? I'm afraid it's not so easy, if the real murderer is not caught, his suspicion of Tangshan cannot be eliminated, even if the suspicion is small, he will often be arrested for questioning, and it is estimated that he will have to limit the short-term prohibition of leaving Fenglin Town.

Waiting for the police to come to the door every day, racking their brains every day to think about how to deal with the questioning, it is basically like living in hell.

Tang Shan found that no matter how he chose, he might fall into a situation from which he could never recover.

For more than ten years, Tang Shan has looked forward to Zhou Weiliang's death every day without a place to be buried, but he just died in front of Tang Shan when he didn't deserve to die.

In fact, this is not the place where Tangshan feels the most frightened. There are two details that really made Tangshan collapse:

First, the chess endgame on the coffee table next to Zhou Weiliang's corpse is actually the "Jade Silk Golden Ding".

Second, Tang Shan saw very clearly that the pig-killing knife inserted in Zhou Weiliang's body was the one that Tang Shan and Chen Yusheng lost when they killed pigs for the last time.
